It continues the story of the restoration of the D’ni civilization, but shifts the focus from the failed efforts of the D’ni Restoration Council (DRC) to the prophecies of the Watcher, about a person known as the Grower who has the power to bring new life to D’ni, and the quest of Guild Master Kadish (whose Age of Kadish Tolesa, known for its complex puzzles, was explored in the base game) to fulfil that prophecy.
